Houghton Academy is a very small 6-12 Christain school in a rural town in western NY. Over half of the student body are boarding students from all over the world which adds a rich cultural aspect to the experience. For its small size, it has a good range of student activities and resources. The faculty and staff work tirelessly to engage and educate the students and are willing and able to spend many hours of one-on-one time with students who need extra help. With such a small student body, the school feels more like a family than a school. The multiple ages and cultural groups flow freely among each other and everyone is known by name. Due to its size and location, it is a very safe environment where learning and personal growth thrive. One of the school's goals is college preparation so the academics are challenging but rewarding. Overall, Houghton Academy is an excellent institution that effectively prepares its students for higher education and life beyond school.
I am an Asian international student who attended Houghton Academy for 4 years. Shortly, it is a very small school in a very small Christian community where everyone knows everyone. It is also a very conservative Wesleyan community where alcohol and dancing is restricted; thus we do not have proms or homecomings at school. There are banquets but basically people eat food and hand out and that's about it. In terms of diversity, people from Asia and Africa come as dorm/home stay students. Students tend to hang out with the same nationality but they do mix in with others too. The school is academically challenging compared to public schools, but the teachers are very welcoming and willing to help. However they lack a lot of AP or honor classes, and additional classes besides basic subjects. The school also has extremely limited sports or activities. There are two sports available every season (summer/winter/spring). I haven't seen any big club activities going on.
Great school! Great community! I really loved it at Houghton and it was a major part in my growth as a person. The teachers and administrators care for each student so much! Amazing atmosphere.
